Every crisp is unique and thanks to variation, every organism is unique too. Due to genetic and environmental factors, members of the same species will have different characteristics or variation.

And what effect do fluctuations in genetic variation have on populations over time? When a population interbreeds, nonrandom mating can sometimes occur because one organism chooses to mate with ...

The changes and variations in genetic code that occur over time are referred to as "molecular evolution." The molecular evolution of an organism can be very different from its morphological (body ...

But what can armadillos teach us about being an individual? One way to examine the role of the environment in variation among organisms is to compare the phenotypes of various traits in ...

That is the most common way for organisms to reproduce. It is a simple, fast and efficient way to replicate a copy of themselves. And while there may be some variations, mostly it is just a copy.

These organisms are also successful models because of their versatility ... including sexual divergence, genetic variation, social and environmental influences on development, and bacterial infection ...

Clonal organisms with tolerance for a broad range ... Clones generally hit a dead end, going extinct when their limited variation collides with changing environmental conditions or with better ...

Curiously, this kind of genetic variation in a clonal animal is something ... “I would love to make a call for people to work ...

The broad aim of our research is to understand the processes and the underlying genetic mechanisms that shape intraspecific life history variation in the wild. Most of our research focuses on ...
